It's wedding season! We're kicking off our look at some key Star Trek weddings with the big one: "Amok Time". And respectfully, we have some questions for the Vulcans. Like, what the hell? antimatterpod.com/214-spaceboo...

This week, Antimatter Pod is discussing #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds 309, "Terrarium", which is by far the best episode of the season ... until it settles for a lazy, nihilistic twist. Again. antimatterpod.com/212-gamer-go...

New ep is up! We're discussing #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds' "A Space Adventure Hour", and we need to say that when Anika said she was shipping Spock/La'an the other week, she absolutely did not mean in canon, we are SO sorry, this is like that time in 2000 when Liz said Seven/Chakotay would be fun.

We're up! We discuss #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds' "Wedding Bell Blues", an episode engineered in a lab to make Anika unhappy. Is this a mean-spirited commentary on shippers? Does Spock have problems listening to women? Is "the snake in the Garden of Eden" a solid bridal look? All this, and more!

Okay, we're NOT recording Antimatter Pod this weekend, because @pixiedane.bsky.social is going to *checks writing on hand* the SNW premiere in NY. But that's more time for Hair Trek Research! If there is a hairstyle in any era of Trek you want us to discuss, let me know!
